AppleTree had one offering at this years Tattersalls foal sale, a smart racey filly by Pinatubo out of Her Terms. Ginny as she is know to us was a neat filly with a great outlook. She took the sale very well having in total 170 views including second looks, she showed with a great attitude and was as good in her first show as she was in her last. the final result was a very pleasing 55,000gns being Knocked down to Goodwill Bloodstock. AppleTree would like to thank all that viewed our filly and wish the new owners the very best of luck.

The vibe at Tattersalls Book 2 and Book 3 sales last week was a sticky one, AppleTree had 3 offerings and we started well Oasis Dream x Absolute Blast 22 filly sold well to Norman Court Stud for 125,000gns which was a good result. However I do feel in a better market she would of pushed on a little further, Next up was a fine big colt Pinatubo x Midnight Thoughts 22. It was clear going to the ring we had no live interest but he did attract perspective buyers up at the ring. The breeze up lads took a shine to him and Mark and Charlie Johnston pushed him a long to the  48,000gns level, there was no interest after this and Paul and I both thought it wasn't enough. Bob as we call him has been sent to Malcolm Bastards with a view to going into training next spring. Straight in to Book 3 after this we had Invincible Spirit x Fearns Pippin colt who was a foal share with Lordship Stud. the yearling was very busy during viewings and popular up at the ring before going through. He achieved 38,000gns which got him away but I do feel feel that buyer Jamie Osbourne got him self a bargain. we would like to thank everyone who came to view our yearlings last week and wish the buyers the very best of luck with them. 

AppleTree have 3 offerings for next week yearling sales at Tattersalls. Starting with 2 at Book 2, first up is a very racey Oasis Dream x Absolute Blast filly lot no 841 selling on Tuesday. Know to us as Penny she is a good moving filly with great body, everything about her screams racehorse. Then comes lot 1304 Pinatubo x Midnight Thoughts  colt on Wednesday, Bob as we call him is by the exciting first season sire Pinatubo. he is a fine big colt, all the dams offspring have been racehorses and he is sure to give some one a lot of fun.  We are then straight in to Thursday and Book 3 with lot 1556 a lovely Invincible Spirit x Fearns Pippin colt. He is arguably a Book 2 horse in Book 3, again know to us as Lenny he has done nothing but improve through the year, he will continue to do so.

Our Dandyman x Sleepless filly was sold to a good home today being knocked down to Kelly Burke at the Tattersalls Sommerville sale. She made 12,000gns which was a little disappointing being a well built racey filly. On the upside she has gone to great home and will have every chance to set our mare Sleepless on her way. We would all here at AppleTree like to wish Karl, Kelly and Lucy Burke the very best of luck with her and will watch the fillies career with interest.

Sales season starts for us in Newmarket next week with lot 298 Dandyman x Sleepless filly, Known to us here as Nikki. She is Strong filly with good temperament, looks a runner for sure. I think she will be popular with trainers as she is uncomplicated and will be able to get on with her.
